Open logs now accepted by ARRL |
|
Written by DL5XX

Some good news from ARRL: in the ARRL Newsletter from July 25th they announced to drop rule 5 of section III of the DXCC rules. This means that open logs are are not any more subject to possible disqualification from the award program.
I think this is good news since internet logs have already become state of the art and best practice in radio sports. We will continue to provide our RRDXA online log to all members all will enhance the service in the future.
From my point of view there is just one thing to consider: if a log is opened with all QSOs details, QSL managers should stop correcting QSO data on request like "....I worked you at 09:21 on 21 CW but you got my callsign wrong..." since these kind of requests are obviously too easy with open logs. So please don't change logs unless you are 100% sure about the request. Most DXpeditions do online logs so it's easy for everybody to check whether you got in the log.

Nachdem bekannt wurde, dass Franz, DF6QV, die so erfolgreichen 4 SQ-Antennen von TS7N, 5A7A und VP6DX konzipiert und die Steuerung samt Phasenschiebern dafür selbst gebaut hat, wurde immer wieder der Wunsch geäußert, nähere Einzelheiten von diesen Antennen zu erfahren.
Daher hat sich Franz dankenswerterweise entschlossen, seinen Vortrag beim diesjährigen RRDXA Frühjahrstreffen über seine Erfahrungen mit dieser Antennenform allen Interessierten auf der RRDXA-Webseite zugänglich zu machen

| After it became known that Franz, DF6QV, had designed the 4 SQ-antennas for TS7N, 5A7A and VP6DX and built the phasing- and control-boxes himself, a lot of hams wanted to learn more about this type of antenna that yielded such outstanding results on the low bands during these DX-peditions.
Therefore we owe Franz thanks that he has offered to publish his script about a lecture at this year's RRDXA spring meeting on his experiences with this successful type of antenna on the RRDXA web page.

Hans-Jürgen, DL1YFF has created a new RRDXA badge as you can see on the photograph. Size is 8.5 x 5.5 cm (like a credit card). Material is PVC with anti-UV-coated strong magnetic clip. Looks very nice! Many affirmative comments on the Ham Radio! Activity is over for now! The last ordered badges arrived at July 23rd and they are ready to be requested (see below).
If you have not been to Ham Radio, but if you have ordered, please, send me a letter (according to what I had written via our reflector) to get the ordered badge. So, die letzten Nachzüglerbestellungen sind auch abgeschlossen. Bitte fordert auf dem bekannten Wege Eure Schilder an. Bitte keine Banküberweisungen. Ich kann das nicht über Konto laufen lassen. Danke und best 73 Hans-Jürgen, DL1YFF

| A few days before the WPX-CW contest, another RRDXA team found the way to Luxembourg to run the contest at LX7I. Thanks to Philippe, a lot of pre-work was done when we arrived at his station. Although we could only set up 4 stations, we decided to go for M/M to maxmize fun as well as our club score. During the contest, we kept 3-4 stations on air most of the time. 10 Meter was the big surprise especially on saturday with nice openings within EU and a few stations from Asia. This was another nice event not only due to the contest. We made new friends with which we did not operate before. This makes contesting a unique community. |  |

| For the CQWW CW Contest 2007 I went to Madeira to operate from CT9L.
Walter, DJ6QT, allowed me to use his station and he gave me a list of
possible operators for the contest. I thought that I will be part of a
team but now I was the head of the CT9L CW team 2007. |

Erfahrungen mit dem neuen QSL-Service GlobalQSL |
|
Written by DL5XX
|
|
Nie mehr QSL-Karten oder Etiketten bedrucken - dank GlobalQSL  Aktive Contest-Teilnehmer wissen um die ‚Nebenbenwirkungen’ der vielen QSL-Anfragen, die durch tausende QSOs in einem Wettbewerb auf die Teilnehmer zukommen. Allein in den beiden CQWW-Contesten in 2007 tätigten beispielsweise die Mitglieder der Rhein Ruhr DX Association (RRDXA) über 200.000 QSOs – in nur zwei Contesten. Viele Mitglieder begeben sich dazu auf DX-peditionen oder bringen Multi-OP Stationen in die Luft. So war auch der Autor Teil eines sechsköpfigen RRDXA-Teams, welches im CW-Contest als ED8A qrv war und über 9000 QSOs tätigte. Wie in jedem Jahr musste über die QSL-Frage entschieden werden. |

Dear members and friends of the RRDXA,
we wish all of you a HAPPY New Year! Before we start with a short outlook for 2008, we would like to look back to the year 2007 which was a very successful one for the RRDXA. In the first quarter of 2007 we launched our new web site, based on an Open Source Content Management System. The idea was to establish a new communication platform for RRDXA members and other interested contest fellows. As of today we can say that this (still ongoing project) was a real success. Read some highlights here:

Statusbericht zum DL40RRDXA-Diplom (31.12.2007) |
|
Written by DL1YFF

|
Inzwischen konnte unser Diplom zum 40jährigen Bestehen der Rhein Ruhr DX
Association über 150mal ausgegeben werden. Wir freuen uns, daß zahlreiche Funkamateure unser Diplom erwerben konnten. Der schnellste Diplomjäger war übrigens
unser überaus fleißiger Operator DL5YM, Fred Ockert, der das Diplom Nr. 1 bekam
und 60 Punkte in CW aufweisen konnte. Besonders erfreut war ich auch über
unseren OM Michael, DE3MKM, der es als SWL zum Diplom Nr 2 geschafft hat. Ich
will sie nicht alle aufzählen, denn eine Graphik kann deutlicher machen, wie der
aktuelle Stand derer ist, welche die Diplombedingungen schon erfüllt haben und
beantragen könnten (Stand 31.12.2007). Immerhin konnten schon über 150
Diplome ausgestellt werden. |
